LIST OF APPLES. 
453 
The third list for trial was then taken up, viz: Lowell, Fall 
Queen, Tetofsky, Bailey’s Sweet, Sweet June, -Carolina Red 
June, Northern Spy and Ben Davis. 
Mr. Cover, speaking of the Ben Davis, said he had trees some 
12 years old, in bearing. It had a very fine appearance in the 
nursery ; was inferior to none in that place, except the Haas, 
fead heard that the apple was a very long keeper, but had no 
personal experience. No tree could be more highly recom¬ 
mended as a tree than the Ben Davis. 
Mr. Plumb said that in McHenry county, Illinois, there was 
no more desirable tree. Mr. Skinner of Marengo, said he 
looked upon it as one of the best. The first year of its fruit¬ 
ing, the apples are apt to be small, but they increase in size in 
after years. 
Mr. Adams had trees planted out five years, which had borne 
fruit for two years, and it was all that he could expect. 
Mr. Kellogg objected to the Carolina Red June, as a poor 
apple. 
Mr. Tuttle said the Haas and Fall Queen are different apples. 
He had both kinds. The one he had placed on the table was 
the Haas of Northern Illinois. This was a very valuable sort, 
and he thought favorably of it for Wisconsin. The Haas of 
Southern Illinois would not be hardy here. As the Seek-no- 
further had been removed from this list, be would move to fill 
the place by the name of the Early Joe. He knew of no 
better tree.-* It was hardy, an early bearer, grew slowly, and 
therefore was not very profitable for Rie nurserymen, but was 
exceedingly valuable in the orchard. 
‘The Early Joe was added to the list. 
A recess was then taken to 2 o’clock P. M. 
2 o’clock p. m.

The meeting was called to order by the president. 
During the recess the members of Ihe society had spre.ad 
large quantities of apples in variety on the tables in the rooms, 
showing what kinds of apples could be produced in this state,
